SA 1911 Loaded

So I went to look at adding an SA 1911 to the growing collection, and was about to click the buy it now on GB when I noticed something...no frontstrap checkering!! What gives? I was looking at model PX9151LP. Strongly considering adding the Kimber eclipse custom to match the pro size I have instead...

I guess the question I would ask is if anyone has purchased a 1911 and then sent it to the custom shop to get the front strap checkered and how long did it take? Looking forward to the answers.

Wow...glad I caught that. Ended up adding the Kimber Eclipse Custom...SA's are nice guns, but to get the same features I would have paid about $200 more than what I paid for the Kimber. Besides...8 weeks? Really?? Screw that...
